London Press on the Resuls.

LONDON, September 28.-The Chronicle
says: s'The next race, the weather being
more favorable for the Thistle" may be
the reverse of yesterdays contest, in which
event public interest will be in the final race
be congratulated on having held their own
and upon the prospect of still retaining the
cup"
The Ne,us says: cit is not to be concealed
or denied that the result of the race is bit
ter disapI ointment. We had been led to
expect great things of the ''Thistle," and
Americans themselves encouraged us in our
expectations. Our disappointment is great
or because, though neither boat had the
right wind for thoroughly good race, a
light breeze prevailed that was supposed to
be in favor of the ''Thistle." The Thistle
lost in a wind of her own choosing"

Another Sensational Development.

SAN FRANCISCO, October l-Ex-Judge d.
s. Terry, one of the counsel for Sarah A.
Sharon, in the well known suit against the
executor of the late Senator Sharon, has
filed an affidavit in the supreme court in
which she charges that one of the defend
ants counsel, who was an e1-judge, during
the trial of the case in the superior court
offered Judge Sullivan, before whom the case
was tried, check duly signed with
the amount left out to be filled
in by the Judge (if he could be tempted to
accept the bribe) with such a sum as he
choose as consideration for deciding the
case in favor of the defendants. Only one
of Sharon's counsel, who is e1-Judge Oliver
r. Evans, it is understood, called on Judge
Sullivan after the affidavit had been made
public and demanded to know if he was au-
thority for the statement, but Judge Sullivan
declined to give definite answer. This is
the elimination of series of sensational
episodes growing out of the Sharon case,
and the affidavit of Judge Terry has created
sensation in this city.

A high wind would result in the destruction
of the city. There's fire to the southwark
along the line of the Canada Atlantic.
There's fire eastward along the Canadian
Pacific railway. There's fire westward up
the Ottawa, and fire north in the mining
country. At Pembroke, 100 miles in one
direction, and at Montreal, 100 miles in the
other, the smoke is reported to be worse

timber but to farms, are enormous AID will

English Press on the Result.

LONDON, October 1.-The Chronicle says
"The result of the race is decisive. We must
accept our defeat with good grace"
The Daily Telegraph says: ''The Thistle
was beaten handsomely on her merits. The
Volunteer is a better and swifter shin all
round. The triumph stamps New York
builders at present our superiors and teach
ers in the art of designing fast crafts
The Standard admits that the ssThistle''
was fairly beaten, but doubts whether the
result christens the 'Thistle's" real form.
An examination of the "Thistle's" bottom,
the Standard says, will likely throw some
light on the problem.
The Times says: cit is now clear
that if we want to beat Ameri-
cans in their own waters and
bring back the cup, we must condescend to
take q leaf out of their book.

He Robbed the Government tor Nlneeeen
Years, But r Caught ut Last
CLEVELAND, ONO. September 30 For
nineteen years an old man has been defrand-
ing the government by collecting pensions
for soldiers widows long since dead. The
man has several names. He was known In
Cleveland as James 81. McGindley, James
Harvey, j. 81. Martin, L. Carpenter and
II. B. Mason. He came here over year
ago and since then has been conducting q
boarding house and saloon in the suburbs.
Two weeks ago Pension Commissioner
Black discovered that large number of
widow pensioners who formerly lived
at Quincy, Illinois. had apparently removed
to Toronto, Canada, and that James Nc
Gindley was attorney for all of them. A
special examiner went to Canada, where
he learned that not one of the
alleged widows lived either in
Toronto or anywhere else, as they had
that pension drafts had been sent to Nc
Gindley at Chicago and thither he went. In
Chicago he discovered that the drafts had
been remailed to Cleveland, one to Newburg
station and another to Brooklyn station.
He came here last Sunday and to-day Nc
Gindley called at Newburg station and
asked for and received Chicago letter di-
rected to Henry B. Mason. He was arrested
and the letter was found to contain one
of the pension drafts. The other
GERS was recovered at Brooklyn station
McGindley was held in 81 600 bond and sent
to jail. He says he has been doing the gov
eminent for nineteen years, and pension off,
say that he has received at least
$780, GOO from the public treasury by means
of his clever scheme. He is 60 years old and
it is believed has lived in Illinois and other
western states.
